Only a few minutes in, get some hooks girl 😊 I love to hang pajamas or denim I’m going to wear again. Then I wear it the next day ( or the next) Don’t like to let the hook collect multiples. But one hook holds pajamas and/or robe The other hook holds something I will wear again the next day Edit- PS: awesome on progress and only progress 🎉
For the worn clothes that are not hamper ready, I have a space at the front of the rod in my closet for those. When I go to pick an outfit, I see them first and can decide if the occasion is right for it. I agree with someone else that mentioned hooks, especially for the pjs. You have the wall space, why not give it a try?
Realistically how often do you wear scarves? I had a dozen, kept 4 and this year, I have only worn 1. I donated all my fantasy self clothes, recently and it feels so good. I actually have started losing weight since, which I haven't been able to do in a long time. Maybe it's not stressing about all the too small clothes that were in my closet?! Great job, Mary Beth!! .
I got a little chuckle from this video. Your videos are one reason I was able to donate my scarves. I hadn't worn them in years, so I let them go. I have not regretted it.
What is it that has many of us cleaning out our closets this week? I started on mine the other night (unplanned), before even watching anyone else do it 🤔. It's a really tough job for me! I can't get beyond all of the money I've spent on clothes, especially things I've bought on sale. It also makes me feel guilty. I'm 65 and I don't want my husband/kids to be burdened by all of it one day either, so the time is NOW! I also don't want to spend my time and energy managing the things I don't wear anymore. That being said, it's still tough. Your closing remarks really hit home and strengthened my resolve. Thank you, Marybeth!
This was great. thank you remembering to put Jesus first as we start to declutter, great reminder . Every morning I read a verse to remind myself Galatians 1:10 I won’t read at all, but it says who am I serving man or God if I care what men think I must be serving men not Christ. Thanks Mary Beth.
I still do wear scarves sometimes. However, I only tended towards wearing those universal scarves. I don’t really like the ones with free ends. So in my decluttering, that’s what I got rid of was the scarves that were free ended.
Thanks for this perfectly timed video. I've been questioning a few pieces in my closet. I was feeling guilty for getting rid of them. Now they will be going to donation center on Thursday.
put a hook on the wall for those' not dirty can wear again' clothes. They aren't with the clean not worn yet stuff and easy to put on the hook, easy to see and easy to grab. win all around.
I do not understand why people have so much problem to let it go of clothes. it is very easy, only keep the clothes you are wearing "NOW" the rest let it go. Give it to someone that will enjoy it, One of the trick I learned is completely removed the clothes in your closet or part of it. Now here is the big deal, only put back the clothes you just wear and wash back in your closet. It works for me, I have been in the house decluttered maintenance stage for over ten years. All is well 🙌😀💟
I don’t Marybeth’s exact situation, but some of us struggle for a few reasons 1) I have MS and other autoimmune, which I won’t bore you with, but it contributes to my weight fluctuating a lot. I have been up and through 6 sizes the past 2 years. So I don’t want to pitch. I do however move some things to storage bins. 2) financially we have limited resources and “ fear” having to rebuy 3) I’m not sentimental much about clothes, but some are Just to explain a bit when you say you can’t understand
It is so hard to get rid of items that you like and that you hope you will be able to fit into again. I am trying to learn that if I haven't worn it in a certain amount of time it probably will not get worn.
Exactly! I feel like I have a limited season here in Georgia too…I’m not wearing even the cutest scarf when it’s 99*, I think I’m going to have to make some hard choices.
I wear scarves!! Since I’m in TX I wear ones like you have in fall and spring but love them. I did recently go through and purge. I used to have a hanger like you do, but things got lost and I couldn’t see them all, plus they hung with clothes, so they really got lost. I got one of those clear over the door shoe things and rolled them up and put them in it. It also became my “container” so I had to pick the ones I really loved and they had to fit in it where I could see each one. I did it for my heavier scarves, gloves, and hats that I wear in the winter and it’s inside the door where my coats hang. Game changer for me on both fronts. But understand, I like to have variety and I wear hats to church (I’m 57, so I don’t consider myself old). I don’t know that I’m a fashionista, but… 😊
Amen to struggling with letting things go. That is most definitely a good gauge as to where we are with regards to our belongings. And I do wear scarves. It's a timeless accessory that can dress up even a simple t-shirt and leggings. Challenge yourself to start wearing them.
Helpful and encouraging video Mary Beth. Inspiring too. Thank you and, may I say that the Lord has blessed you with such a pretty face. Have a wonderful week. May our dear Lord bless you and your family.❤
I always enjoy your videos. I have a suggestion that you could move the dresser closer to the window and that might make accessing the dresser and closet easier. You are also free to totally ignore this suggestion, like all random people who post comments on UA-cam videos.
I have configured this closet so many ways, none of them are super great. I’ve been thinking about reconfiguring it again though. I like it divided into two zones so to speak (dressing & sewing) I think I’m going to turn it to put it under the shelf and see how I like that. 🤷🏻♀️ thanks for the suggestion, I appreciate it! 💕

Hooks are on my list for sure! Thanks!
I still wear scarfs, particularly in colder weather or in summer tied on my bag in case it's too cold in restaurant etc.
ooo i'm gonna have to do that! i do want a scarf when i'm sitting right under an a/c vent

Scarves can be pretty covers for dressers or small tables. Even uses them for window valences.

I could not tell you the last time I wore one. 🤦🏻♀️ lower stress is always a good thing, excited for you friend! 💕

Must be a good time to do it! 💕

That’s wonderful! 💕 thanks for sharing!
Yes, our identity is in Christ alone! Thanks for the reminder! And motivation to go through my own clothing

I can relate, there were some expensive items in there, but they just don’t make the cut. You can do it!

Love spending time with you
"I just need to make easy decisions right now." I can try that. Thank you!
Some days friend, just gotta go with the low hanging fruit. 😁

I can relate to that! But, I’ve found I’m much happier in the long run with less stuff in the closet and drawers.
Summer means closet clean outs! Great job!!
Thanks! It was time.
Recently, I've been worried that scarves are out of style, but I still have a couple that I really like, and I wore one today.

That’s a good idea! I may try storing them a different way. Thanks!
Awesome message at the end! Thank you!
Wow! In NYC we call that a bedroom 😂 lol. No joke!
I believe it! And I did actually consider if when our youngest was little. It’s make a good nursery.
It would be here in the UK too! 😂

I literally just donated all but a couple scarves and the hangers. I hope someone else finds joy in them.
